Singapore-based confectioner Delfi has announced an executive reorganisation and senior management appointments.
The group, which last month issued a profit warning and cut its full-year sales forecast, suggested the initiative will strengthen its core leadership team, allow the company to further grow the scale of its business in Indonesia and better position it to tackle the short-term and long-term challenges in the business environment.
